NPI for Industry

Industry has rallied behind the NPI as a neutral, uniting force in raising awareness and support for optics and photonics nationally. For this reason, the NPI is committed to serving as the industry’s voice in Washington. Whether on issues of research and development, fair trade or domestic job creation, the NPI is taking the concerns of the photonics industry directly to those that matter most. Though this process, opportunities for industry to educate and partner with the federal government have emerged. Public-private partnerships are a shining example of the success recognized by industry through the NPI.

(Washington, D.C.) -The National Photonics Initiative (NPI)--a broad-based collaborative alliance among industry, academia, and government to raise awareness of optics, photonics and quantum science and technology— is commending the U.S. House of Representatives for approving the final version of the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) Act, H.R. 6227. The Senate passed the legislation last week and it will now head to President Trump for his signature.
